Railways and Food.

One of the most momentous, and
what may be called humanitarian, re-
suits of the recent great extension and
cheapening of the world railway sys-
tenn and service. is that there is now
no longer any occasion for the people
of any country indulging in either ex-
cessive hopes or fears as to the results
of any particular harvest inasmuch
as the failure of crops in any one
country is no longer, as it was no later
than twenty years ago. identical
with high prices of grain;
the prices of cereals being
at present regulated, not within any
particular country, but by the COM
bined production and consumption Of
all countries made mutually accessible
by railroads and steamships. Hence
it is that since 1870. years of locally
bad crops in Europe, have generally
witnessed considerably lower prices
than years when the local crops were
good and there was a local surplus for

fore vouch for the incident he wishes
to relate, knowing the one party per-
sonally. The incident occurred this
spring.
A member of this fraternity had be.
come an officer of the reserve corps.
On the occasion of certain celebra-
ton in a restaurant he was making a
speech, when half-tipsy post-office
official, who had been corps student
(dueler), publicly insulted him by using
abusive epithets. Common sense would
seem to dictate that such one should
be hustled out of the restaurant and
treated with utter contempt. But no;
the officer was privately urged to send
the fellow challenge to pistol duel.
Upon his replying that such was con-
trary to his principles. he was sum-
moned before a so-called court OF
honor q, practically a court-martiaL
His Colonel wrote to the General. say
ing that Officer S. was an excellent
officer in every respect, but that the
authorities had, unfortunately. not
known of his connection with the Win
golf fraternity. AT the court-martial
it was proved that Officer s had in ne
wise provoked the insult; also, that
when he refused to challenge he was
perfectly sober. Had he been in
toxicated. it would have been an ex-
cuse. And then this honorable court
of German army officers passed the
verdict that this man, in every respect
acknowledged to be an excellent Off
Ger, on account of the utterance OF
principles incompatible with the posi-
ton of an officer refusing to fight a
duel with an insulting rascaD. should
be ignominiously expelled from the
army. BY special Cabinet order OF the
Emperor, this verdict was committed
to that of simple dismissal. This in
the nineteenth century, and in NOM
inally Christian and civilized land!

THE .THlSTLE'S BOTTOM.

The Owner of the Scotch Yacht THINKS
the Bottom of His Craft Must be Bills
tered.
NEW York, Sept. 2S.-Mr. Bell, owner Of
the Thistle, said to reporter this morn.
ing: 81 can not tell, of course, whether
there is any thing wrong with the This
ties bottom. I would like to see her out
of water to know Just what she is like. 1t
is possible there may have been some
thing wrong with the turpentine in the
paint, and it may have blistered and
roughened her bottom. We account for
the Thistle's defeat in the first place by the
Volunteer getting the best of US at the
start. That was fatal. Once she caught
the breeze and put such stretch of water
between US as she did knew it was all up.
There is a mystery about the way the
Thistle worked. Why she has done better
under her trysails."
Captain Barr feels the defeat Of yester-
day more than any one else does. He is
exceedingly respondent day, and looks
worn and haggard. None of the crew
looked cheerful.
Commodore Clark complained of the
recklessness of the steamboat captains in
punching around the racers. Nothing
will be done in the way OF changing the
Thistle's sails as they are considered per-
feet. The only uncertainty in the minds,
Of the Scotchmen seems to be as to the
condition of her bottom.

A Pair Of Shoes Per Minute.

our largest shoe manufactures in this
city to the writer, sit doesn't take

Some time ago gentleman and his
wife walked into our factory, and in
just one hour and thirty-three minutes
the lady left the house wearing a pair
of fine shoes which were made for
her from the stock while she was in
the factory. This was simply an ex-
pertinent. These shoes were made on
single set of machinery and passed
through the hands of the different op-
eratives at their machines. BY rum

ST. CUTHBERT'S BONES.
A Pilgrimage to the Shrine of the Miracle
Working Saint.

A Pilgrimage to the Shrine of the Miracle-
Working Saint.
A pilgrimage to the shrine of st.
Cuthbert, the patron saint of Lindis-
farne, Chester-le- Street and Durham,
is being organized by considerable
number of fellow-countrymen. This
pious expedition has for its object the
celebration of the twelfth centenary
of ST. Cuthbert's death, which might.
perhaps, have been more appropriately
commemorated on the Goth of March,
that being the precise date at which
twelve hundred years ago the prior of
Lindisfarne shuff1ed off his mortal coil.
Danish incursions were harassing
the populations of the east coast dur
ing the period of Cuthbert's exemplary
rule over the monks of Holy Island.
Observation-Disclosures that Farne
would be the victim of some future
Viking raid-he laid an injunction upon
his ecclesiastic subordinates that, should
such a calamity accrue after his
death, they or their successors would
disinter his remains and convey them
to the mainland. The monks of
Lindisfarne, however, did not wait to
dig up Cuthbert's body until the ar
rival of the Danes. They performed
that operation eleven years after his
decease, with view to transferring
the corpse of their respected prior to
another part of the island, and were
greatly surprised when, upon inspect
ing it. they observed that it exhibited
no signs whatever of decay or even OF
deterioration. installed in a new
coffin, and freely shown to persons
attracted to Lindisfarne by its mirac-
ulous reputation, the incorrupt body

A Great Lumber Monopolv.

EAU CLAIRE. Wis, Sept. 29.-Frederick

Mississippi river syndicate, have bought
out the Knapp-Stout Company, on
the Red Cedar river, for $3.50, 900. The
purchase is supposed to include saw-mills.
lumber and pine lands. II is now beyond
doubt that the Weyerhouser syndicate
will succeed in the evident pur-
pose to practically control all the
lumber and the billions of feet
OF pine in the Chippewa district. The
corner will doubtless be followed by an
advance in the price of lumber. It is ex.
pected here that the next purchase by the
combinat will take in the Rice Lake
Lumber Company. whose pine lands ara

reported that an offer has also been made
to N. G. Foster, Of Fairchild. for his heavy
interest.

OF them in the city, but many of them

or the six State and Territorial divisions
assigned to the Ninth Grand Division
only three had the necessary nerve and
enthusiasm to come out, namely: Michi-
gan, Minnesota and Kentucky. The abb
sentees were Delaware, West Virginia and
Washington Territory.
Michigan was represented by $50 men,
including the personal staff Of the Gov
ernor, commanded by Past Vice Com.
mander-in-Chief c. v. R. Pond. In the
ranks was Ex-Governor Alger, of Detroit,
a millionaire lumber king, who unostenta-
tiously held his umbrella over the colors
and marched in the rain. The Wolverines
had no band.
Minnesota came next, with $50 men,
chiefly from Minneapolis, commanded by
Colonel Wheelock and accompanied by
Plummer's drum corps of Minneapolis.
Kentucky was represented by 200 men
and forty State flags, the battalion
being commanded by Colonel Bowman, of
Frankfort. 1t was accompanied by Sny-
der's Louisville Band and the well-known
William Nelson Drum Corps of nineteen
boys, from Newport

Speed s. Fry, widely known as tho man
who killed General Zollikoffer, marched
in this squad. All the colors of this State
division were shot to ribbons at Shiloh,
where the Fourth regiment alone lost one
thousand of its men.
Arkansas and Florida Grand Army
men and Sons of Veterans to the number
of three hundred made up the Tenth divi-
sion, which was commanded by Assistant
Marhal Captain Henry Zegenheim. This
division occupied Sixth street, north OF
Franklin avenue, and bravely faced tho
peiting rain for more than two hours, dis
regarding all calls from the sidewalks to
disband. 1t may be said that the Sons Of
Veterans honored their sires by their
show of discipline.
When the reviewing stand was reached,
Grand Commander Fairchild rode up by
the side of the stand, and then sat on his
horse to review the parade. The War
Governors and General Sherman sat in
their carriages, so the stand was only oc-
cupied by few newspaper men and city
officials, who stood up.
